Tyler Shaw Releases Emotional Ballad

“Anybody Out There”

Featuring Amaal Nuux

 Song Expresses Shaw’s Personal Journey with Anxiety and Loneliness

(Toronto, ON – May 4, 2018) – Today, Platinum-selling artist, Tyler Shaw releases his vulnerable ballad “Anybody Out There.” Shaw’s emotional track explores the intensely personal mental health themes of anxiety, loneliness and detachment. The song also features Toronto-based Somali-Canadian songstress Amaal Nuux. Her silky, soft vocals act as a call-and-answer to Shaw’s. Although the pair ask the same question, there is no answer–just an echo that reverberates. Watch the lyric video here.

This is an all too familiar feeling for Shaw: “I went from playing on sports teams, being in a big family, and surrounded by friends in Vancouver, to moving to Toronto by myself and being completely alone,” said Shaw. “Life in general can feel so detached, and I think in this current world, that’s a feeling we all can understand. The power of music is that it allows me to join the conversation and tell people that there is somebody out there, asking that same question you are, suffering the same sadness or anxiety, and we should talk about that together to help us through it. I wrote this song for that very reason.”

Amaal Nuux is a Somali-Canadian singer-songwriter who is based in Toronto.  Her music is noted for its socially conscious themes. She sings in a variety of genres, including pop and R&B. Nuux’s music has always focused on shared human experiences. She lends her voice to this track to explore a different but common type of human experience: isolation.
